Closing Studies

Closure to Accrual

In addition to keeping the IRB up to date on the status of the study, this sets in motion other changes in our research system such as:

Allowing Clinical Research Support to remove the consents from Clinical FYI

Notifying appropriate clinic offices of the study closure

Correctly assessing future monitoring plans

Correctly predicting future renewal review types

Notifying ClinicalTrials.gov that the study is no longer recruiting

Whether a study continues to see patients for treatment or follow-up vs. solely doing data analysis will determine how the study is reviewed in coming years and may also impact reporting to NCI and ClinicalTrials.gov.
